What Is a Drone, Anyway?

Usually, a drone is associated with the military. Now, we aren’t going to talk about that kind of drones. Nowadays, we have a wide range of drone usage. Among search and rescue, surveillance, traffic monitoring, weather monitoring, firefighting, videography, agriculture and even delivery services, we also use personal drones for drone photography.
